Patio dining table plans

There are a couple of considerations to keep in mind when shopping for a patio dining table. First, think about the outdoor conditions. If the area gets a lot of sun, consider a table with an umbrella. Also, be wary of materials such as teak, shown in the table above, that weather in the sun if not treated and maintained.

Secondly, give thought to the number of people the table will most frequently need to accommodate. If the area will most frequently be used for just you and a guest, you can save a bundle by going with a bistro table. If on the other hand you host larger parties, a full-sized dining table with room for multiple guests, food and drink may be the better choice.
